Credit Card Debt and Bankruptcy
A San Francisco Bankruptcy Attorney mentions credit card debt...
One of the most common triggers for today’s bankruptcy filings results from people having significant credit card debt that they are barely able to make the minimum payments on.
Everything goes along fine for months, maybe years, until suddenly–and frequently unexpectedly–the interest rates on their credit card(s) jumps from a very low (or zero) interest rate to over 22%! The main reason this happens is when the cardholder defaults on the cardholder agreement. This could be as simple as missing or being late on a payment, or more unexpectedly because you simply have too much overall debt.
A good warning sign is: If you are barely able to make just the MINIMUM payments on your credit cards, you should already be considering bankruptcy as an option because even if you continue making only the minimum payments, you will never pay off those debts because nothing (or only a negligible amount) goes towards the principal.
